Today, CBVI 3D technology is far superior to conventional 2D imaging by enabling practitioners to better identify potential problems in orthodontic, periodontal, implant, maxillo-facial surgical cases, endodontics, and general dentistry. In addition, it also allows the dental professional to identify other potentially serious problems, including such things as airway passage obstructions and soft tissue abnormalities, which 2D systems simply cannot reveal. This documented improved accuracy and precision of CBVI images helps to avoid potential mistakes due to such things as image distortion and magnification common with two dimensional imaging technology.

Measure quality and density of bone

See and avoid critical anatomy

Plan and determine proper placement of implant(s) while
determining the most appropriate implant type and angulations

1mm slices allows the Doctor to determine if cavitation is present before flap

Determine whether bone grafting or sinus lifts may be necessary
in areas where the amount of available bone is questionable

In addition to implant placement, a Cone-Beam scan is an invaluable diagnostic and treatment planning tool for the oral surgeon for:

Determine the precise three-dimensional position of a tooth
within the alveolar bone and how this position relates to vital structures for extractions and impactions

Plan and determine proper placement of implant(s) while determining the most appropriate implant type and angulations

Trauma evaluation

Visualize hard and soft tissues on the computer in three
dimensions for planning maxillofacial surgeries

Generate life-size CAD-CAM stereolithic (STL) models for
surgical planning

View bite in relation to bone structure for treatment plan .

3D evaluation of impacted tooth position and anatomy .

Orthognathic surgery treatment planning and growth assessments in true 1:1 imaging

  Planning for placement of dental implants for tooth restoration
        or orthodontic anchorage and for placement of temporary
        anchorage devices (TADs)

Assessment skeletal symmetry or asymmetry

	TMJ/TMD
	Obtain a true 1:1 imaging of the condylar structures for more accurate assessments without superimposition and distortion . 3D evaluation of impacted tooth position and anatomy . Orthognathic surgery treatment planning and growth assessments in true 1:1 imaging
	PERIODONTISTS
	Analyze periodontal bone defects on all sides of every tooth. Assess the extent of furcation involvement Track the progression of advancing periodontal bone loss Treatment plan dental implants by evaluating bone parameters such as bone width, depth, and density Visualize vital structures such as the maxillary sinus, mental foramen and mandibular nerve prior to periodontal or implant surgeries.
	ENDODONTISTS
	More accurate identification and diagnosis of periapical endodontic pathosis than conventional radiography Visualization of obscure internal pulpal anatomy and root canal systems Assessment of internal and external root resorptive processes Identification of root fractures and other areas of trauma Volumetric and density comparisons of periradicular bone following endodontic treatment in order to assess the degree of success or failure Pre-surgical planning
	3D MOLAR/IMPACTIONS
	Visualize an impacted tooth�s position in relation to surrounding vital structures and nearby teeth and their roots. Better assess the risk of treatment or non-treatment based on more accurate 3-dimensional analysis .
	PATHOLOGY
	CBVI scans provide a superior means of visualizing and studying pathological processes in the maxilla and mandible. This information is invaluable when planning any surgical efforts for biopsy or resection. The data can be used to: Render three-dimensional images of hard tissue abnormalities Provide more accurate information related to size, extent, location, and the relation to and effect on nearby anatomical structures Monitor the progression of the pathology as well as the success of treatment with the use of multiple scans
	ORAL-MAXILLOFACIAL RADIOLOGIST
DR. BRAD J. POTTER Research Interests: Digital Imaging in Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology. Cone Beam Computed Tomography Honors & Awards: Fellow, ADEA Leadership Institute. Fellow, American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology. Fellow, American College of Dentists. Fellow, International College of Dentists.	Cone-beam scans (CT images) present different challenges due to the increased size of the field of each study. To enhance your diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, treatment and patient outcomes, 3D imaging of the CSRA offers radiological reports upon request by a board-certified Oral & Maxillofacial Dental Radiologist. Our OMF reviews each patient study to rule out pathology and any incidental findings, which could affect a patient�s outcome. Comprehensive assessments with images are provided in the radiology report for orientation and a detailed written report is delivered to address clinical concerns and pathologic findings. Our services include but are not limited to evaluation of: Routine digital radiography of teeth and facial bones The Temporomandibular joints Impacted and Supernumerary teeth Pathology of regions of concern The Paranasal sinuses Presurgical dental implant evaluations
	CLINICIAN-REVIEWED IMPLANT PLANNING SERVICES
.	Your patient�s treatment plans are reviewed by practicing implant specialists who measure bone quality and quantity, create virtual abutments, teeth, and sinus grafts. The referring physician is then able to create and edit the treatment plan. In addition to the plan, experience the benefits of using and types of surgical guides as well as how to order them. You choose the software for your patient�s treatment: Simplant, Nobel, I-dent and other treatment planning software If you don�t have implant software, 3D Imaging CSRA will send your completed plan in a free viewer Ask us about surgical guide and surgical kit options
